Answer:
300000 Joules
Explanation:
Recall that the unit Watts is Joules per second, derived from the quotient of energy per unite of time. Therefore, to calculate the energy used on the given time, we need to multiply the power used (1000 W) times the time used. Then we need to express the 5 minutes in seconds to get our answer in Joules:
5 minutes = 5 * 60 seconds = 300 seconds
Final energy calculation gives:
E = 1000 W * 300 sec= 300000 Joules
